We like cycling because it is such a great way to exercise, burn calories and build muscles. And, there is no added burden on the knees as there is with jogging! Also, you can go slow or fast…set your own pace.

Bicycling is a great group activity. There are bike clubs where you can meet new people. Or, better yet, ride with your kids or grandkids. It is a perfect activity for retired Baby Boomers!

If you use bike paths or rural roads, you are relatively riding for pleasure. Go online to find bike paths in your area.

Getting out in the fresh air and enjoying Mother Nature up close is definitely a benefit of riding a bicycle out doors. It is refreshing and peaceful…a special time for reflection and gratitude!

Since most of us rode bikes when we were growing up, there’s not much of a learning curve. See you out on the streets, trails and highways!
